V1
HE WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM
A SLEEPY LITTLE TOWN
WITH CATTLE, SHEEP, AND OXEN
GATHERED ALL AROUND
THE SHEPHERDS ON THE HILLSIDE
HEARD THE ANGELS SING
“GLORY IN THE HIGHEST
PRAISING THE NEWBORN KING”
CHORUS 1
HE WAS A KING WITHOUT A COUNTRY
A KING WITHOUT A CROWN
A KING WITHOUT AN ARMY
NO RICHES TO BE FOUND
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS FATHER
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS THRONE.
THEN HE GAVE UP HEAVEN
TO MAKE THIS WORLD HIS HOME

V2
SO EVERY YEAR AT CHRISTMAS
ALL ACROSS THE EARTH
WE SING ABOUT THIS JESUS
TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH
ABOUT THE KING WHO CAME TO SERVE
THE KING WHO CAME TO LOVE
THE KING WHO GAVE UP EVERYTHING
JUST TO BE WITH US

CHORUS 2
HE WAS A KING WITHOUT A COUNTRY
A KING WITHOUT A CROWN
A KING WITHOUT AN ARMY
NO RICHES TO BE FOUND
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS FATHER
HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS THRONE.
THEN HE GAVE UP HIS KINGDOM
TO MAKE THIS WORLD HIS HOME

BRIDGE
AFTER 33 YEARS ON THIS EARTH
THEY NAILED HIM TO A TREE
ON HIS HEAD LAID CROWN OF THORNS
THEY CALLED HIM MAJESTY
THEY WHIPPED HIS BACK PIERCE HIS SIDE
CURSED AND MOCKED HIS NAME
BUT BEFORE HE DIED
HE PRAYED FORGIVE THEM FATHER
DON’T HOLD THEM TO BLAME

CHORUS 3
NOW HE’S A KING THAT HAS A COUNTRY
HE'S A KING THAT HAS A CROWN
HE'S A KING WITH AN ARMY
ON THIS EARTH CANNOT BE FOUND
HE’S EMANUEL GOD WITH US
HE’S SAVIOR HE’S LORD
HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
AND LIVES FOREVER MORE

CHORUS 4
NOW HE’S A KING THAT HAS A COUNTRY
HE'S A KING THAT HAS A CROWN
HE'S A KING WITH AN ARMY
ON THIS EARTH CANNOT BE FOUND
HE’S EMANUEL GOD WITH US
HE’S SAVIOR HE’S LORD
HE SAID BELIEVE IN ME
AND LIVE FOR EVER MORE

CHORUS 5
NOW HE’S A KING THAT HAS A COUNTRY
HE'S A KING THAT HAS A CROWN
HE'S A KING WITH AN ARMY
ON THIS EARTH CANNOT BE FOUND
HE’S EMANUEL GOD WITH US
HE’S SAVIOR HE’S LORD
WHEN WE BELIEVE IN HIM
WE’LL LIVE FOR EVER MORE
WHEN WE BELIEVE IN HIM
WE’LL LIVE FOR EVER MORE
